I realise I'm fortunate to live in a beautiful part of the countryside and do appreciate that many people come here because of that, and that tourism is an important part of the local economy. However, sunny bank holidays bring a sort of inevitable dread.. one fatality on the roads so far and road still closed, another serious accident and life changing injuries, at least one dead sheep due to a dog being let off its lead, parked cars blocking pavements, farm gates, cattle grids and access for larger vehicles on narrow roads, town full of really pissed and sunburnt people etc etc. Most locals hide away on weekends like this, off to the allotment when it cools down a bit. #RuralLife #BankHoliday
